PittsbnrBh. Special to The Pittsburgh. Preis STATE COLLEGE, March 2 The University of Pittsburgh basketball team which has been "hot-and-cold" at intervals this season, had one of its "cold" spells here tonight and bowed to the Penn State passers. 36 to 29. The Panthers never really got! startpri Th T.innc tnnlf thp learl at the outset and try as they might the Pitt tossers never could catch' up.

The Lions led 17 to 9 at the half and increased this margin until near the end when a Panther spurt reduced the margin of the score. The Panthers hurt their chances at the foul stripe, sinking only three in 12 attempts while Penn State scored 10 out of 14. The victory was Penn State's thirteenth in 21 and the loss marked Pitt's eighth in IS. Lions Take Big Lead Pitt went into an early four-point lead when Port pushed one in under the basket and Milanovich sank a set shot. Hie Lions tied the count with Barr's field goal and foul toss by Moffatt and McWilliams and ran the lead to 3-4 when the first quarter ended, Gross and Moffatt scoring.

Barr's long heave broke the scoring ice in the second quarter of the first half and put the Lions ahead, 10-4. Port slipped in a short shot for Pitt, but Barr sank two. fouls to keep the Lions ahead, 12-6. From here Penn State pulled away to a substantial 17-9 lead at half-time. Milanovich sank a foul for Pitt and Racusin and Barr scored from the field for State.

Moffatt counted from the foul line. Port brought the Pitt total to 9. Panthers Fall Behind Milanovich scored first for Pitt. in the second half before the Lions began a scoring spree. Barr, Grimes and Racusin spun foul shots in to put the Lions ahead, 20-11.

Gross dribbled the floor's length to score and Grimes long shot and State was ahead, 24-11. The Lions added four more points on Racusin's foul, and Barr's field and foul. Pitt came to life as Milanovich, Levin and Port counted from the fiSld and Milanovich scored twice again. Ban and Moffat scored for the Lions and the count stood 32-21 with the Lions ahead. Pitt, spurted in vain, Straloski, Milanovich, Levin and Fort scored from the field.

Connellsville Mermen Crack State Relay Mark high registered in Pitt's 68-49 tri- umph over the Mountaineers a few weeks ago. In scoring their second win of the season over the fighting Plaid clan, and running their victory string to an even dozen against half as many setbacks, the Mountaineers were forced to call on a pair of substi tute performers, hefty Homer Brooks and a little squirt named Jim McCartney, to supply the win ning punch.

Brooks, an old favorite, but a bit on the beefy side in his fifth season of campaigning (two with Potomac State before enrolling at West Virginia) proved he still is mighty effective, and McCartney, an obscure sophomore, gave promise oi future greatness. Between the two, they collected a total of 23 points 14 by Brooks. Individual honors went to Captain Bob Stark who made his biggest scoring splurge in three years of stardom totaling nine field goals and four goals for 22 points. He was pressed by Rudy Baric, smooth sophomore center, who gobbled up 16 points. This was Tech's 11th defeat in 16 starts, with three games remaining to be played next week before closing the campaign.

McCartney Sparks Drive West Virginia's "dribble-crazy" offense proved no match for the alert Tartans through the early stages of the first half, but a hot eight-point spree, generated by half -pint Mountaineer sub, Jim McCartney, required the locals to shoot for all they were worth in the closing moments to hold the lead at half-time. 30-29. With Hank Holets, swaggering footballer, scoring on a pair of screw-ball shots and "skyscraper" Stark doing his usual effective work on re-bound plays to the tune of 11 points for the half, Tech breezed ahead to a 16-8 lead, then moved the advantage even wider to 24-15. At this point. Coach Dyke Reese inserted a couple of replacements high scoring Homer Brooks and McCartney, and the situation changed completely.

Ruch opened the drive with a nifty side shot. Brooks followed with one from near the foul line and McCartney cut in with two daring interception plays which gave the Mountaineers eight consecutive points and squared the score at 24 The score knotted twice again, at 26 and 28. Ruch- put the Mountaineers ahead with a successful free throw, but in the fading seconds, Dusty Rhoades, obscure Tartan reserve, hopped off the bench and let fly with a desperate shot from mid -court that found its mark and put the Kilties out front, 30-29. Rapid-fire Scoring The game really opened up in the first five moments of the second half as the teams raced up and down the court in as wild a scoring spree as this city has seen all season Blazing away at the rate of four points per minute, a total of 20 points in a little over a five minutes, the rivals moved the score to 35-all, then 37-all, before the Mountaineers finally jumped ahead with Baric leading the way to hike count to 52-44. Here, Stark flipped three points to halt the rally temporarily, but Chepko came right back with a nice push shot to make the score with 10 minutes to go.

Tech sliced West Virginia's lead to 55-51 on a pair of fouls and a fast break play. Hennessey Sturgeon. But Chepko dumped a short one and Brooks lifted in a pair of fouls to offset the rally. With five minutes to play, the Mountaineers resorted to stalling Water Polo Kings To Appear Here The New York Athletic Ciub water polo team, national Amateur Athletic Union champions, will appear in Pittsburgh March 23 against Joe Rosenal's Rio Diablos, national runners-up. The match will be played in the Pittsburgh Athletic Association and will conclude a two-match series.

They are Art Rooney's Pittsburgh Pirates, renamed now following a contest in which several thousand pro football fans submitted approximately outdoor crowns one season since the 1926 days of Lacoste, and the first American to turn the trick since Bill Tilden won both in 1920. Riggs' ability to switch style of play carried him to victory after trailing 1-2 in the final set as McNeill was forcing the play after his fourth set victory. McNeill Falters In the fourth game of the last set, Riggs shed his deep court game and charged the net with what appeared to be reckless abandon.

His stinging, forcing volleys hurried McNeill into costly errors. Once Riggs gOu into the "driver's seat," he never relinquished it; He squared the set at 2-all, and pulled away to win the next four games In easy fashion, allowing only one of them to reach deuce. It was the first time Riggs had been able to beat McNeill in three recent meetings McNeill had beaten Bobby in the French Hard Court Championship last summer, and this the 1939 Pirates trained, and nearby Gr en Bay, where they played an exhibition game with the Packers.
